Akira was wide awake, the pain in her neck was worsening. She had taken off the choker and looked at her neck in the mirror. She could see the mass of flesh move, as the eye slowly opened and looked straight at her. It quickly closed as someone had brought her fresh hot water to bathe. She did so and got rid of the blood a grime that had accumulated over the last 24 hours.
She was saddened that Silencer didn't allow her to heal him, but she'd do it tomorrow morning. She felt a bad wind was brewing and knew that there was trouble afoot.
Finishing her bath and using some of the other herbs she had gotten to make a sweet smelling concoction. An old mixture taught to her by her surrigate mother, Akira rubbed it over her chest, shoulders and upper back. It was also something to relax and losen tence muscles. Plus, being an easy fall sleep remedy was a bonus.
Akira thought she heard footsteps in Silencer's room. She decided that he either had to use the bathroom, or he had to get a drink. She was still nieve that he was an assassin and in fact had just gotten back from a hit.
Akira simply laid down and listened to the storm, falling asleep to the sounds of nature that she was so used to. She'd dream of home tonight. Nightmares were sure to occur...
